“In order to address special concerns of the developing country Members, China calls upon all developed countries to meet their commitment to improve rules of origin and to provide genuine duty free, quota free treatment to LDCs, so that these countries can continue to increase their participation in world textiles and clothing trade."

"China will intensify its current efforts to assist these countries in strengthening their ability to compete under normal trade rules.”

“Mr Chairman, we believe this is the right direction to go. Unfortunately, some recent events during the NAMA week are rather misleading. Some people from the industrial sector of developed countries openly advocated WTO-minus arrangement for the sector of textiles and clothing.”

“This kind of demand, if translated into government positions, would put the whole round in jeopardy. I therefore strongly urge the relevant Members to take a cautious stand on this sensitive issue.”
